Well I just came out of the garden with a few ripening Tommy Toe tomatoes, two of which had bug chomped holes in them. I'll use them for seed. I got five, maybe-maybe not, ripening German Johnson tomatoes, two of which are sun scalded and will probably rot before they finish ripening. One is a triplet, it is three grown together. Another one is twins, two grown together. Both look like it will be difficult to carve out edible portions.

If I'm in a tomato competition, it must be for the worst tomatoes. LOL

If it is red and tastes good, that's what counts......

My corn is up to 10 in. tall, so already beat ya on that. How about the biggest mater? Plant and fruit.

Had one last year that was freakish big...here it is next to a big beefsteak of the same variety.

My tomato plants are 6 inches tall. My corn plants come to my knees. :) My pepper plants are 3 inches tall, and I planted them the same time as my tomatoes...hmmm....

Yeah...my hot peppers are just stunted this year. Tomatoes doing well, sweet peppers look great, but there are many things in the garden that don't look good to me and many things that do....very uneven performance all around.
